I put my red lipstick and blue mascara on, then I stumble into trouble and listen to her sad songs

WANDAVISION: Agreed, this was THE best part of Phase Four. I've loved Scarlet Witch from the beginning, so I was anticipating that this would deliver and it did. I loved the concept, the production, the acting and the arc of Wanda becoming Scarlet Witch and the way they incorporated her crown ("This is chaos magic, Wanda, and that makes you.. the Scarlet Witch" is already iconic!) But the way it seemed to grab not only Marvel fans, but non-Marvel fans around the world says a lot about the success of this show. TFATWS: I'm very mixed on this, mainly with the plot and character development. There was no reason for Sam Wilson not to doubt himself as Captain America, because Steve gave HIM the shield for a reason and to give it up was very disrespectful to him. I think it should've been the opposite in that having the people doubt him as Captain America and having to prove himself for that title for the show. I don't know, it was very underwhelming to me and not very memorable. BLACK WIDOW: I haven't seen this yet and based on the reviews, I don't really care to. LOKI: I've never found Loki to be an interesting character, so I wasn't excited to see it. I thought the concept was interesting, but it just was.. okay. The TVA was a joke, in my opinion, and they just felt so useless and weak. For the keepers of time, you'd think they'd know how to handle situations better. In the end, this didn't change the way I feel about Loki and Sylvie was just a bleh character. But I liked that it introduced the Variants and the Nexus concepts. SHANG-CHI: This comes second after Wandavision. It's a basic marvel movie in a lot of ways, but it's just so... fun. I'm really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It felt different with the whole introduction of the fantasy elements and the fight scenes were great. It was very fast pace, with a lot of good action and just very entertaining. It has the same rewatchable factor as Thor: Ragnarok, which is also my favorite. WHAT IF: It was okay. I liked the animation and I thought the last episode was really good. ETERNALS: Will add my review of this when it comes on Disneyplus next week. NO WAY HOME: This was the first movie I saw in theaters in two years and it was just a great experience. The audience made this movie so much better for me. I recommend watching this in theaters just for that alone. The movie was good, but I've never been a Spider-Man fan or Tom Holland fan, so I didn't care for this, but I thought Tom's acting was the best he's done of the three Spider Man movies and William Defoe was legendary. His voice as the Green Goblin gave me chills. I still think Far from Home has a tighter story, whereas this one felt a little messy. Still, it's a movie for the fans more than anything, but I will say that there's one actor in this that that stole the show and if you've seen it, you know who it is. HAWKEYE: I think this show surprised everyone on how good it turned out. It falls short on a lot of things, but there was something about the chemistry between Hailee and Jeremy that made it endearing. Plus, it was a nice feel good Christmas show. However, I still felt that it underutilized Hawkeye in favor of putting Kate Bishop in the spotlight. I really wanted him to have a hero moment in a way that he would past the Hawkeye torch to Kate at the end. But the best part of this show for me, was the introduction of Maya Lopez. As a Native American, I was very excited to see her. Even though her character was one dimensional and her story a bit rush, I'm still excited to see her in the marvel universe.

Watched Spider-Man: No Way Home yesterday and it was good. I'm not super in love with it like everyone else, but I will say that watching it with other fans definitely elevated the viewing experience for me and made it more enjoyable it for that reason alone. Especially since I haven't been to the theatre's in like 2.5 years.

“And there we were, walkin’ the Trail of Tears Feathers in my hair and I saw you saw who I am”

Her singing on the tractor gave me Lizzy vibes. I like when she includes things like that in her videos, it's just so... her. Idk how to describe it. But it's such a pretty video, very intimate. The scene with the three of them looking off into the distance against the wind was very cinematic. So far this and the alternate Arcadia video have been my fav videos from her in a long time.

My only issue with the song is that I wish the lyrics were stronger. A lot of the lines felt like they were plucked from a generic break-up song. but my favorite part was :"I had good intentions/And the highest hopes/But I know right now/It probably doesn't even show". I felt like that moment was for her son.

I've loved Scarlet Witch from the beginning and I'm so happy she's getting a show of her own. I really can't wait to see how this whole thing going to play into her breakdown.

"Not Without Knowledge" - Tennessee Williams "A kiss brings pain --- Approvingly I quote These words that sage Rodrigo wrote --- And yet I'll kiss again." When I was in college, I was very lonely and lovesick and I used to visit this cafe near my school and they had a board where they would post a different poem everyday. On the day that I saw this on there, it was only the first and last lines - "A kiss brings pain... and yet I'll kiss again!" It's stayed with me ever since.

Ugh. Her responses to this are.... So Twigs being on a stripper pole is considered artistic, but when she does it people call her a whore. Like what? That's such a surface level analysis of it. While we can all agree that we knew what she was coming from from her initial post, at the end of the day, she really needs to do more research on our current culture that involves hearing someone's else's voice except her own before she addresses it. And I find it ironic that she accuses everyone of not reading and misinterpreting her words, when she's doing the same thing to the valid criticisms and responses towards her.

I really though she matured but I guess the self-victimization still continues... Also if this was about the criticism from critics why not name them instead of the singers?

Just got mine in the mail (took a week). And yeah it comes with two LP sleeves with the signed one being the empty one. Now I just have to wait for the signed album which was a separate purchase.

So I finaly got my shipping confirmation email this morning about the autographed vinyls. Anyone else?

I really like it. It's so different from her usual style, possibly because it's edited more like a pop video and it's so great to see her smiling and enjoying herself. She looks beautiful. Although, I would've preferred if she was singing out in a field, surrounded by her fans and have the universe descend upon them, it still works on its own. The transition to space with the close-up of her eye and color reveal is great. Aside from the cliched scenes of the hipster kids in Venice, the rest of the video is ethereal and makes me love the song even more. Some of the space scenes reminded me of Angels & Airwaves. All in all, it's very refreshing and a nice progression, especially after the underwhelming videos for Honeymoon. Also did anyone see the picture of her hugging someone on the drum set at the very end. Is that Rich?

I've been wanting to see it so badly. I heard about it too late though and I ended up missing the limited theatrical release in my city. It's already out in Canada and it won't be released in the U.S. until January 2017. It's been getting good reviews so far. The main actor was in season 2 of American Crime (which I highly recommend you watch by the way) where he played a college student that accuses another guy of drugging and sexually assaulting him. His acting was solid in that show, so I'm excited to see him in this one.

June 9, 2014 It's on the slate next to the director's name.
